Episode Summary

Chris's sense of civic duty is aroused when his favorite free parking spot at the public beach he frequents is suddenly designated a red zone. Chris vows to fight for the public's civil liberties and, with the support of Michelle Branch and his band, decides to run for parking commissioner – much to Yola's chagrin...

Meanwhile, Yola's maternal instincts are awakened when she volunteers to look after Megan, her six-year-old stepsister, for a week. Though anxious to put her parenting skills to the test, she soon finds that the job is hardly the walk in the park she thought it would be.

Anson comes into a bit of money and suddenly finds himself in a constant state of worry over what to do with it. When the guys in the band bombard him with unsolicited advice on how to protect his cash, he's consumed with worry and indecision, until he comes up with his own stellar solution.

TRIVIA (1)

1. The major goofwith this episode involves the missing Jimi; Yola's Springer spaniel dog. This would have been a great episode toallow Jimi to interact with Megan. Additionally, it would have been interesting to see how Yola handledboth child and dog under her roof…

2. In the "Meet theCandidates" scene, the moderator identifies the incumbent as "Carl Schmoltz,"not "Charles Schmoltz" as he appeared in the credits.

3. The clips ofChris boxing in Cody's commercial actually came from season one's episode 11,"The Professionals."

4. The movie Meganwatches at Yola's house is the same "Princess Electra" flick that Anson finallysettles on as he flips through the channels at Chris' house in season two'sepisode 11, "Gimme Shelter." In thatepisode, Hershel comments, "I think I've seen this episode." So, is this a film, or a TV serial?
